Sex ed, protests, and more shocking videos

The Center for Medical Progress released another heart-wrenching video this week. In it, a former procurement specialist from a baby body parts recovery firm describes how she took part in retrieving a brain from a newly aborted baby at a Planned Parenthood facility in California.

This was the seventh video released by CMP and each one is yet another testament to the depravity that is Planned Parenthood. It is almost too much to watch 10 minutes of someone describing what goes on, but to think about those PP workers who live through this every day is unimaginable. They must be affected by what they see and do. We need to remember to pray for every worker at Planned Parenthood—that God will show them the light and that they may be rescued from what must be the den of Satan.

In other pro-life news this week, the topic of sex education is rearing its head across the country as Planned Parenthood continues to receive millions of dollars from the Affordable Care Act to promulgate its offensive programs. Planned Parenthood is targeting middle schools in an effort to convert more young people into customers for its nefarious trade. Our “Featured Video” in the newsletter will show you one part of these programs and provides a link to where you can find more information.

This week saw two more states (Utah and Arkansas) take taxpayer money from Planned Parenthood. They join Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Alabama who had previously cut PP funding. In an interesting development, Planned Parenthood held a major protest demonstration outside Governor Bobby Jindal’s mansion in Louisiana to show opposition to the cuts. Jindal’s office set up a movie screen and speakers and played on loop the videos of Planned Parenthood employees talking about the harvesting of preborn babies for protesters gathered outside.

"Planned Parenthood supporters are welcome to protest," Jindal said in a statement. "We hope the protestors will take a minute to watch [the videos] so they'll have an opportunity to see first-hand our concerns with Planned Parenthood's practices."

Finally, in the midst of what can only be described as one of the most active summers in the history of the pro-life movement, a special prayer and fasting campaign will launch tomorrow, August 22. The details are in the “Action Item of the Week” section of this newsletter.
